Welcome to the Arduino-MPU6050 wiki!

Arduino-MPU6050 is a library to interface with the MPU-6050 I.C. which is a 3-axis gyro, accelerometer and a thermometer. The MPU-6050 I.C. uses I2C in order to communicate with the Arduino. Arduino-MPU6050 uses the wiring library.

Wiring the Arduino

You will wire the Arduino to your MPU-6050 device just like you would any other I2C device, pin A5 to SCL and pin A4 to SDA.

Initializing mpu class

In order to work with the Arduino-MPU6050 library you must initialize the MPU6050 object. MPU6050 mpu;

Acceleration

Getting Acceleration Data

The data is given in tenths of G's (maybe?)

Normalized

The way to access the acceleration is using the Vector struct, and the member function Vector readNormalizeAccel(void)

Vector normAccel = mpu.readNormalizeAccel();
Serial.print(normAccel.XAxis);
